Jobs had experimented with some structural changes at Apple, but at NeXT he abandoned conventional corporate structures, instead making a "community" with "members" instead of employees. There were only two different salaries at NeXT until the early 1990s. Team members who joined before 1986 were paid <span style="white-space: nowrap">$75,000</span> (equivalent to $208,000 in 2023) and those who joined afterward were paid <span style="white-space: nowrap">$50,000</span> (equivalent to $139,000 in 2023). This caused a few awkward situations where managers were paid less than their employees. Later, employees were given performance reviews and raises every six months. To foster openness, all employees had full access to the payrolls, although few employees ever used the privilege. NeXT's <a href="/wiki/Health_insurance" title="Health insurance">health insurance</a> plan offered benefits to not only married couples but unmarried and same-sex couples, although the latter privilege was later withdrawn due to insurance complications.<sup id="cite_ref-The_NeXT_Big_Thing_4-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_NeXT_Big_Thing-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 80">: 80 </span></sup> The payroll schedule was also very different from other Silicon Valley companies at the time, because instead of employees being paid twice per month at the end of the pay period, they were paid once per month in advance.<sup id="cite_ref-The_NeXT_Big_Thing_4-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_NeXT_Big_Thing-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 289">: 289 </span></sup> </p><p>Jobs found office space in <a href="/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California" title="Palo Alto, California">Palo Alto, California</a>, at 3475 Deer Creek Road, occupying a glass-and-concrete building that featured a staircase designed by the architect <a href="/wiki/I._M._Pei" title="I.
